A whole bunch of MSI laptops with Comet Lake-H are now shipping to customers to combat the AMD Asus Zephyrus G15

[Amd FTW]

What the freak?  I can't wait for 4900H to be released.  Maybe I will buy a 4800H instead.  IDK.  But definitely NOT an Intel piece of garbage!!

understandable. but they are the same, thanks to amd marketing. ryzen 9 is a better binned ryzen 7.
i am mad at this situation because my goal is 17-incher with the fastest cpu, memory and ssd on the market. plus repaste. (buying memory and ssd separately ofc)
so, with this ryzen 7-9 nonsense i should spend extra 100-150usd for a tiny performance uplift or save the money and it will damage my feelings about own the best :)

For me, I'm happy to pay 100US more for the better bin guarantee than save 100 but couldn't  know I've won the lotto or not.
